LAW INTELLI6 ENCE COURT 01" CHANCERY, AUGUST 13. DRURY-LANE THEATRE• The Loa') en N. cimt.ott,,after transacting some business iu hisAtrivateChaniber,`enteted theCoutt at about halt-past nine o'clock, when, adverting to what had passed on the subject of Drury-lane Theatre, he said, it had been his intention to hear that case to morrow evening ; but taking into consideration the lateness of the season, and the multitude and pressure of Ihe business still 'indis posed of, he tabonld appoint to-root row !limning for that purpose. For the saute reason, agree ably to a previous intimation which he had given, he must apprise the Gentlemen at the Bar, that he could only listen to one Counsel on each side, Some time after, Sir A. PIGOTT, who had not been in Court when the Lord Chancellor spoke, allodi!!g to the general notice which he under stood his Lordship yesterday to have given of his purpose to admit only one Counsel of a side to pirad in the causes remaining to be heard, ex pressed a hope that the motion to dissolve the in junction whieit had beep obtained in the case of Drury-lane Theatre was not included in his Lordship's resolution. The Lotto CHANCELLOR said, it certainly was. Sir ARTHUR Ploovr then observed, that the ease was one of deep and complicated importance, itivolving in a serious measure the jarring inte rests of numerous individuals, and, as he could not be ut,conscious of his incompetency, single banded, to contend with the force of ail that ar gument, intelligence, _atateloquence which, in _the person of Sir S. Romilly, would be arrayed against Lim, he wished to assign the arduous attempt to tile more hopeful zeal and ability of Mr. We therell. Sir S. ROMILLY said, that so striking and atnia. ble•an instance of modesty on the part of Sir A. Pigott could nut fail to excite in him a similar wish to transfer the labour and the honour of the contest to the emioent skill, knowledge, and ex: perience of his second, Mr. Bell. Mr. WETHERELL and Air. BELL acknowledged - severally the sense that each entertained of the professed honours, which, however, were by both of them respectfully declined. Sir A. PIGOTT then suggested to Sir Sarnue -Romilly, that perhaps it might be as well if they should adopt an expedient sometimes resorted to in another place, and " pair off." The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that whatever accommodation the gentlemen might afford each other, he found it quite impossible at this period of time, and with the load of business that was still lying before him, to depart from the resolu tion be had formed of bearing only one Counsel on each side. LORD C. TOWNSHRND V. BLAKE. • . The question in this case was_ merely this— whether tinstees of an infant ought to let a farm to a tenant who would give an annual rent of 4391., or to one tvho would give 4801. The matter came before the Lord Chancellor some time ago, and it was referred to Master Stepheb, Who, after a lapse of several mouths, made his report in favour the smaller rent. This determination was ob jected to by Lord C. Townshend, who had an .annui , y upon the whole estate, and supported the interests of a Mr. Wightman,, who offered the larger stint, and he consequently now bought the .question before the Court, 00 a petition that the Master might review hisseport. Sir ARTHUR PIGOTT opposed the application on .behalf of the Trustees of the estate, who wished to accept a person of the name of Brett as the ;tenant, at the rent of 4301. He observed, that • the 'point would be very short, if the only dispute were attout the two stints offered : no doubt 4801. were better than 4301.; but other circutustanc.s, in the opinion of the Master, made all the differ ence. A surveyor of high eminence had given it as his opinion, that the value of the farm Was only 4301., and there seenled to be no reason for dis puting his judgment, excepting that the protege of 'Lord C. Townsend offered more ; but Mr. Brett had been lon .! tenant of the property, and had expended 15001. upon it, and had a claim to Lave his lease renewed, at a fair and honourable rent. Sit S. ROMILLY d,id not think it necessary to add any thing on the same side, after what his Lordshi, , had said regarditig Drury-lane Theatre. Mr. HART, on the other hand, insisted that the matter was.qaite plain, and the duty of his Lord ship quite clear, though the trustees seemed not on wiNiug to abandon their duty, by neglecting the interests of their cestui qui trust: they were offered 480/. a-year by a tenant of substance, and whose f a ther was willing to be his surety for the rent, and for the observance of covenants ; and on what pretence could they accept an offer of 501. a year less, by which a thousand guineas would he put into the hands of the tenant before - the expire. tion of his lease of 21 years,..? Sir A. PIGOTT, in reply, said that the trustees were under a sort of obligation to Mr. Brett to renew his lease upon reasonable terms, and it would be a gross breach of faith on their part Dot to 'do ,so'. _ The Lottp CHANCELLOR said that be would look into the affidavits, as to the breach of faith ; and if it amounted to a contract between Brett and the trustees, he could take notice of it ; but if it appeared to he any thin, less, as a Judge he could Live it no tveight, however binding it might be i❑ conscience. scorcit BANKRUPI.S. s EIauFNFRATI ()Ns, EX A NIINATIONS, DIVIDENDS, &c.

B o w.STREET,--On the lst of March, 1817. the Edinburgh Mail was robbed of Bank-notes to the amount of between 4 and 50001. which wt•re in a parcel which was sent by the Edit), burgh and Stirling mail, directed to Messrs. Edie and Co. at the Stirling ; Batik, and sent from the Edinburgh Bank. On the arrival of the mail coach at Sliding, and on examining the place where similar valuable parcels had usually been deposited for a vonsiderable time past in perfect safety, it was found to be missing ; an alarm was spread, and from circumstances, the robbery was strongly suspected to be one of those called " put lip robberies," it having been previously known to the thief the valuable contents of the parcel, and the part of the coach it was deposited in. The passengers had all left the coach, and it was strongly suspected that some, or the whole of the inside passengers were concerned in the rob bery, and an inquiry took place respecting them and their proceedings on the road, when it was ascertained that all the inside places were taken previous to the mail leaving Edinburgh, and three of the passengers, of the names of NPAllister, Ha milton, anti Carter, got into the mail at tl►e inn previous to its starting, Find the fourth passenger was taken up on the road. A full description of the men's persons and con duct was obtained frOm a young woman of the name of Brown, an outside passenger.. The Proprietors of the Bank-motes have been making every possible exertion, sparing no ex pence, to discover and detect the robbers, as well as for tae recovery of the immense sum, anti they did not lose sight of applying at this office• In consequence Adkins, the officer, has been exert ing himself since that time to recover the pro perty, and to apprehend the thieves, but'.'vii-ti';i",ii :uccess till a few months since, when a man was detected at the Italian Opera in robbing the com pany there, by means of cutting their pockets with a sharp instrument, and which practice it is supposed he had pursued for some time without suspicion or detection, owing to his going gen teel), dressed to the pit. On seas-cuing him then, and his residence, some articles of property were found, which led to a suspicion that he was one . of the passengers in the Edinburgh Alai!, and was concerned, with another passenger, in robbing it of the above property. Information being sent to the bankers (the owners of the val.►ahle par cel) of the men being in Fustody, and the sus picious circumstances then discovered, they im- niediately sent Miss Brown (an outside passenger by.the mail at the time it was robbed) to Lon don, when she positively swore to the man ap prehended at the Italian Opera-house as being one of the passengers ; his name is Hamilton_ alias Grey. He has been tried for robberies com mitted at the Italian Opera-house, and sentenced to seven years transportation. In the mean time Adkins has been exerting himself to apprehend the other robbers, whit) were passengers in the mail at the time, and has succeeded in tracing oot and securing one of them, of the name of WAllister, alias Crowder, and Miss Brown has been sent again from Edinburgh to London, and has also identified this man as one of the passengers in the mail, at the time of the robbery. A writ of habeas Corpus has been obtained for the removal oflton alias Grey from New gate to Edinburgh, to take his trial for the rob bery of the mail, and Adkins has left town with him and M'Allister alias Crowder, for Edinburgh, to take their trial for the offence. ExTENsivE ROBBERY BY A WATCHMAN. GUMMI A'LL..--YeStelAilly James Ellis was charg ed before Mr. Alderman GuOINIERERE with pion deriog the Paddington Canal warehouse in Lon don Wall, of Manchester and other goods, to the an►ount of more than 2001. the property of Messrs. Turner and Co. the prol►rietors.—Elizabeth Ellis, daughter to the prisoner, was also put to the bar, charged with being concerned in the rob bery. It Was stated in evidence, that the male pri- soner had been for a long period employed as a private watchman about the warehouse of Messrs. Turner, was intrusted with the keys, and the ut most co►►tidence placed in his integrity. Within the last few months parcels of ,goods were conti nually missed from the warehouse. lit length, however, sospiciou fell upon sonic porters en►- ployed about the; premises, and au Officer %vas procured, who watched them, and searched their lodgings, but made nu discovery. This Officer, upon a more t►arruw scrutiny of the warehouse and yard, hinted to the owners. that he thought the watchman most know something of the ►;e predations. At this insinuation they were quite indignant, and declared so great was their reliance upon his honesty, that they would trust I►im with any thing. The work of plunder still continuing, the Offi cer was again appt►en to, again !ecltired his suspicions of the watchman, and at his own pressing solicitation was employed to watch his conduct. On Wednesday morning, a short time previous to the usual hour for Ellis to quit his post, the Officer observed him to go to a certain part of the warehouse, enter a door, and selecting a piece of goods, place it in a secret spot near the (4)or-way. Ile then left the place, but re turned in a short time, and supposing himself un observed, took up the package, and was going ofl• with it, when the Officer took him into custody immediately. He then proceeded to his lodgings, where upon searching, he found an immense num ber of duplicates of property pledged at different pawnbrokers, the whole of which (to the amount stated) proved to be tb,, propwy of 11.1e3sts. Turner and Co. It was for the most part pledged in pieces of seven or eight yards, to prevent sus picion. -Th e daughter was found at the lodgings, and it ha v ing been learned that she was seen upon one or two occasions loitering about the war , :.- hoose in the night-time, she was taken into cus tody' Not one halt of the property missed front the warehouse has as yet been discovered. At the request of one of the prosecutors the prisoners were both remanded, to give time for further inquiry, and for the pawnbrokers to at tend with the property. DOG CASE EXTRAORDINARY. • MARLBOItoUGH-STI;EE - T.—A Case excited some iuterest was heard yestenitty ; James Cour tois,t sq. of Paddington„ a Gentleman of the first respectability, was charged with detaining a dog. The dog in questio►► was of the Blenheim breed, the property, .as stated, of a Lady named Goldicot, and it was an animal which Ladies who crowded the Court appeared in love with. Mr. Courtois had lost a dog on the 12th of January last, and seeing the one in question fol lowing the lady of the Rev. Mr. Meade and a young Gentleman, he claimed it as his lost flog, and refused to give it up. The Counsel for the prosecution stated it was not meant to impute to the defendant that he was a dog-stealer, nor was it the penal►y which was sought after, but it was to recover back the dog which the defendant had mistaken for the one he had lost. Mrs. Meade, and the young Gentleman, nephew of the Clergyman, were called to prove that the defendant had taken the dog from them, which wHssatlinitted. The Lady proved that she knew the dog fur above a year and a half, and it was then full grown. Since that time the dophad . been in her possession, although not uninterrupt edly. She was positive as to the identity of the Mrs. Ann Goldictit stated positively that the dog was hers It wonlo be three years old next January, and she had it when a pop of a Mr.- King. The dog was so touch endeared to her that . they could nut mistake each other. The Lady was positive as to the identity, and she described his in rks. _ _ _ The dog was here produced, and the Ladies on each side called out " Fanny, my dear, my darling," &c. and the little creature first flew into the lap of a Mrs. Court ois, who embraced him with lunch ecstacy, Mr: King, who gave the dog to Mrs. swore - poSiti'Vely to him, and produced the mother. Ele bought the mother in pup, and bred the dog iii question. The identity of the clog was sworn to by the servant who washed and fed him, and by several other persons. Mr. ALLEY, in a speech of much force, did not attribute any wrong motive to the opinions of any of the witnesses, who no doubt swore to the best of their belief ; but he observed that the dog was not like a poor child who wanted a parent—he having plenty of admirers. He called a dozen respectable witnesses, who swore as firmly as the other side, that the dog be longed to Mr. Courtois, and amongst them were two fanciers, who swore that the dog was not two years old. The Magistrates postponed their judgment, and the dog remains in the possession of .W alts, the officer. ROW IN BAGNIGGE-WELLS MA-GARDENS. HATTON-GARDEN.-This place of public resort was open on Wednesday night as a second-Vaux hall, and, in honour of the Prince Regent's birth day, it was observed as a grand gala night. Fire works, illuminations, music, singing, dancing, eating, drinking, &c. &c. constituted the pleasures of the evening (or rather night) ; but we are sorry td find, that the principal part`of this fashionable company were composed of-persons of the very worst and most dangerous de scription, who formed themselves into strong grooves, mixed in the different parties, and commenced sham battles amongst themselves, for the purpose of creating riot and coati sign, in order to accomplish their desired pur pose—that of picking pockets and committing; other depredations. Although the Proprietor of the gardens made every necessary arrangement for the preservation of *ood order, by having several police officers and constables stationed in various parts of the gardens, yet they were insufficient, as on -a given signal the row became genet:al, seve ral.fighting matches taking place in various parts of the gardens at the sante time, in each of which the ladies made themselves conspicuous by taking a very active part ; the constables interposed their authority, hut were attacked and overpowered by the riotous mob, ,their staves Were takeii from them, their hats taken off and thrown away, and their coats and shirts torn off their backs, And otherwise much beaten and ill-treated. : The rioters were so numerous and powerful as to pre, Vent the constables, from taking any of therb into custody, with the exceptioo of one heroine, . framed Elizabei ' h Deakor, of masculine appearance,,whom they succeeded in lodging iti the watch4tonse. She was brought yesterday before the Sitting Ma gistrate at this Office, whets she gave her address, 97, Market-street, City-road. She 'stated, site gave one of the constables - 2/. for the lost of his hat, and not to appear against her. The charge being sworn to by the constables, in spite of het cloiceence; - she was committed until she f ound bail. ... THE PAVING ACT; ' QIJEEN-SQUARg.—A case oF some interest to the parties was heard at this office. The Com missioners under the new Payiuk . Act hail some nvniths since given notice to a Mr. Jackman, of 11, Cannon-street-row, Westminster„ to retno - ve certain steps that prevented the convenient pass ing of foot passengers,.. To this no attention was paid ; when about .a month since the SurveyOr was directed to she for. the penalty, under the 2d Section of the New Act. On behalf of the defendant, it was contended that the steps were freehold property, and that the ground on which they were erected paid a ground-rent of :51. per annum : that the steps had remained in their present state for nearly 60 years, and it certainly was not in the contemplation of the Legislature in"enter — orr the freehold of an. other. This was answered by the Solicitor to the Commissioners, that this was one of the cases that could not be overcome by the old Act, and to give the necessary power to the Commissioners in such cases was one of the principal reasons i n passing the late Act. After considerable discussion, it was decided against Mr. Jackman, who, it was understood, intends to appeal at the next Sessions against the adjudication of the Magistrates. Wednesday night, at Mr. Ellis, a pilot, WRS proceeding along Tooley-street, he was suddenly surrounded by R gang of five or six fellows, who hnstled him, and robbed him of his pocket-book, winch contained several Bank-uotes, uis ?dot's Warrant, and other documents.
